Its a level higher with a worse area of effect, but caps at 15d6 and half the dmg is holy instead of fireControl Winds  - great defense against flyers and shipsAwaken  - nifty and uniqueAnimal Growth - mondo buffing spell for your animal companionsRock to Mud -  bye, bye stone buildingsFire Seeds - perphaps the best fire spell in the game.Reincarnation - the lowest level way to revive a character, but risky.When you get L7 spells, you will really start to shine with creeping doom, heal, harm, control weather, sunbeam (save or die for vamps), fire storm, and true seeingMasters of the Wild is full of useful spells, uncliuding druidic fly and teleport spells and LOTS of powerful buffs.  Dont bother fighting in wild shape.  Use it for utility purposes...instead buff your animal companions and heal and blast.  Note that the druids offensive spell-list is very fire-heavy.  they rival wizards in their ability to work with fire.  Thus, you should get Energy Substitution so that all those powerful fire spells can be powerful cold or sonic spells.</blockquote>
